How the First Female Disciples Help Us Find Freedom and Hope in Christ

Some in today’s culture critique Christianity as a misogynistic religion which denigrates women, treats them as second-class citizens and tramples on their freedom.  And sadly, in some Christian circles, women have been disrespected by their brothers in the faith and treated inappropriately.

Yet, when one turns to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, a radical, revolutionary view of women shines forth through the grace-filled words and loving actions of Jesus toward the females in his life. Jesus broke through both Jewish and Gentile forms of oppression against women and offered a fresh view of the female gender which has provided the undergirding for true women’s freedom and rights up through the present day.

Gifted Christian apologist Rebecca McLaughlin and author of the new book, Jesus Through the Eyes of Women:  How the First Female Disciples Help Us Know and Love the Lord will help us see how the Gospels provide us a view of women which sets them free to reach their fullest potential and find true freedom and hope in this pre-recorded interview.

In the wide cultural context today of objectification and sexual violence, this question is more crucial than ever, not just for ourselves but for our sons and our daughters. Does the Christian worldview have anything to say in a culture that objectifies women? Is there a coherent intellectual basis for the dignity of humanity, male and female?

Are the differences in how men hear differently than women clear as black and white? The answer could be yes. Because human brains are made up of gray and white matter, the gray matter is believed to represent processing centers for information, and the white matter is the networking part of these processing centers.
